benefits of eating raw yams

Hey Everyone, Right after my last m/c I was channel surfing and caught a minute or two of TLC's "I didn't know I Was Pregnant with Twins " or "Pregnant With Twins " - something like that anyway. Right before DH snatched the remote from my hands and shut the tv off - I saw something about sweet potatoes causing multiple births. Anyone see that show ?

I can't believe there is so much discrepancy about yams. Goodness, there must be several varieties of yams. Like tomatoes. You can by an heirloom, a hot house, a cherry, a grape tomato but they are all tomatoes. I've grown yams, lived on a farm most of my life and eatin' yams most of my life. The ones that are orange inside are called yams here in the Northwest. I have read the same thing about yams, but didn't read the benefit is exclusive to African yams.

First, you IBS is probably not tied to these foods. Also, not to be a nit-picker, but corn is a grain, not a vegetable, and zucchini is a fruit, also not a vegetable. The importance of this is in both your IBS and the nutrients you might not be getting by not eating true vegetables. Corn can be a troublesome food for many, as it's a common allergen and also contains a lot of sugar. Carrots are great cooked and raw -- cooked they have more carotenoids, raw more fiber.

So, if I've been eating a lot of yams in the psat few months I should worry about having to buy 2 of everything? I wish I'd read this 3 months ago!

Make sure you have yogurt or kefir every day for a week before you start drinking raw milk since the enzymes in raw milk act like the ones of yogurt. Make sure the cows look healthy. I swear to you, I went back to it because I remembered the health & beauty benefits from my school years, now that I am on it I am never drinking store bought milk again. Not even organic because it's still cooked and all the alfalfa and clovers enzymes and vitamins are killed by the cooking process.

ve heard of that blood-type diet, but I doubt it has any real bearing on how much of what type of meat we should eat. Also, there's just no way under the sun I'd ever become a vegetarian. Just look at our teeth. The incisors and canines are meant for tearing while the back ones are flat and only meant for mashing. http://bit.ly/d4jhyt If we were meant to be herbivores, we would not have incisors or canines.

Someone on this website suggested I eat yams to get pregnant and she was pregnant with twins. I did eat yams fater my IVF an dnow I am pregnant with triplets.

With the weather hot here today (ups of 90°) I decided on a raw plate - broccoli, cauliflower, carrot sticks and a bit of ranch, few watermelon chunks, a slice of cheese and a slice of oven roasted turkey.

Hi, I haven't tried it but I was interested when I saw your post. I have to admit that I am a bit wary. I was bottle-fed soy as a baby (due to allergies) and am now celiac. There are some studies that link soy to thyroid problems, celiac disease, etc. I am not a vegetarian but due to my limited food choices, I did and still do, consume quite a bit of soy.

s production of its own cancer-fighting substances And all along I just thought that it was tasty! So with so many health benefits to be gained from eating broccoli, I was wondering it you would all share with me your favorite ways to cook broccoli. I enjoy broccoli in stir frys made in my wok at home and I also enjoy it a great deal raw as one of the veggies in a veggie tray. How do you take your broccoli?

I have also heard of people eliminating health problems by eating this way. Try eating lots of veggies, nuts, fruits, and lots and lots of water! Your body will thank you! please let me know if anyone has had success on this!

I eat practically everything healthy that you can think of but my favorites have to be grapefruit, Kale smoothies and boiled yams!

I thought it was funny to. Now I wished I LOVED yams. lol. Congrats Angela, I hope you have a healthy and happy 9 months! :D SunWhorshiper, it hads to do with progesterone? Hmm! I should be eating sweet potatoes then because my progesterone was low last time they checked it and put me on those nasty vaginal capsuls. Yuck! I'd much rather choke down a sweet potatoe. lol. Also, my mother loves the yams like you like the sweet potatoes, with marshmellow on them.

The only kind of seafood you can really eat is anything farm grown or saltwater fish. Nothing raw. Ever. The doctors don't recommend you eat ocean fish due to the high levels of mercury. Even fish with low levels isnt recommended. No offense but you should know what not to eat by 20 weeks.

I heard that yams are good for your ovaries. Something about how they make you ovulate more. This is the tribe in africa and the women eat yams every day. They have the higest concentration of twins in this village out of anywhere else in the world. The dr's contribute the twin factor to the yams. Good luck!

Some people have to have many treatments to finally fall pregnant. I have also heard of woman eating a specific kind of Yams during ovulation can increase the chance of having twins. Good luck!!

before the 6th attempt we had only been doing one insemination per cycle which had clearly not been working so for the next cycle we did two iuis, one on the day they would normally have you come in and one on the next day. i had also read that raw walnuts yams (not sweet potatos, there is a difference) and pineapple core help aid in implantation. it said that for the five days following the procedure to eat a portion of each.

There is no diet specific to Hep C; however, eating healthy food benefits all of us. You should concentrate on achieving/maintaining proper Body Mass Index. I wouldn’t consider eliminating fruits and vegetables; I’m not sure why you’d consider that.

streatch marks because before I got pregnant I felt very insecure of myself because of my weight...im I being selfish towards my baby?

What finurligaida said pros of eating it out weigh the cons it can also help with anxiety..

) thanks for posting such an honest question

I thought the natural occurance of releasing more than one egg per cycle was interesting. Anyway, so I found a page that had 10 factors playing into having twins-among them was a diet. Now, my line of thought is, that if #5 on this list, dairy and yams, can help someone w/o fertility problems increase their odds, surely it couldn't hurt for those having problems. I'd like to hear some thoughts. http://multiples.about.com/od/funfacts/tp/howtohavetwins.

At the age of 29 I was having really bad TMJ problems (daily migraines) even though my teeth were pretty and fairly straight. After getting braces because my bite was off, the pain stopped within 2 months! Braces are not that big of a deal and aren't going to prohibit you from doing anything (except maybe eating caramel apples).

Uncooked meats, raw sushi, unheated deli meats are a no-no, due to the risk of listeria. It's recommended to eat about 8 oz of fish per week, but not shark, mackeral, albacore tuna, and a few others that contain high levels of mercury. Salmon, light chunk tuna, shrimp, talapia are just a few that can be eaten during pregnancy. Soft cheeses, like brie or the queso fresco, and blue-veined/moldy cheeses, like some blue cheeses, aren't recommended for consumption.

what the hell happened?....all i know is i ate 1/8 cup of raw cacao nibs with 1/8 cup of goji berries....AND I WAS HIT WITH ANOTHER BRICK...and my i say that mixture is sent from heaven...WAHT A DELIOUS TASTE...i am blown away....Marcia...i just have a funny feeling its someone out there have a beef with the coca indusrry maybe he got fired or something....i think its just one guy who is doing all the negative news onthe raw coca....im hooked now...i cant stop eating this stuff...

By following these three recommendations for selecting and eating fish or shellfish, women and young children will receive the benefits of eating fish and shellfish and be confident that they have reduced their exposure to the harmful effects of mercury. 1.Do not eat Shark, Swordfish, King Mackerel, or Tilefish because they contain high levels of mercury. 2.Eat up to 12 ounces (2 average meals) a week of a variety of fish and shellfish that are lower in mercury.

Drinking some water with a tablespoon or two of raw apple cider vinegar made me feel alot better. It has enzymes that help digest the food and help with indigestion. Plus raw apple cider vinegar has a million health benefits besides that! But a couple weeks after i hit my second trimester that super full stretched feeling got alot better. Maybe it will for you too now that you're almost 15 weeks!
